Today’s top research idea
NMDC: Iron ore pricing improving
Highly profitable steel project, albeit delayed, is available for free
NMDC has increased iron ore prices by 10-13% as Indian iron ore mines are
regaining price power. We expect NMDC’s iron ore volumes to grow at 5-6% over
the next 4-5 years from its existing mines that are currently operating at ~80%
utilization.
Investment in rail evacuation line and growth at its key customers will drive
volume growth. Steel plant, though delayed, will be highly profitable given
technology efficiency, scale advantage and raw material sourcing. Margins in the
steel business are likely to be 10,000/t.
Despite factoring in 10% lower iron ore margins w.r.t. FY18, we expect EBITDA
CAGR of 17% to INR97b over FY17-22. We expect equity value CAGR of 15% to
INR223 in four years, while the dividend yield will be ~5% at CMP. Thus, we
expect a 20% annual total stock return over the next 3-4 years.
